The September 18, 2006 issue of The New Yorker noted that Richard’s The Party’s Over was on Bill Clinton’s summer reading list; according to Clinton interviewer David Remnick, the former President’s copy “was full of underlinings and what looked like the most serious undergraduate’s markings, with lots of exclamation points.”
